Pride Comes Before a Fall | Smile, God Loves You!
Many Christians have the attitude that they can work out their problems and they think that it's a bother to even pray about them. Yet, God is always there so we should never get so caught up with the ways of this world and our own self-image that we forget to take Jesus with us.
Too often we won't turn to God for help because we don't want to bother Him with small issues. We feel it's better to only ask Him to help with the big things; after all, we are intelligent beings who like to take care of ourselves. This is called "pride" and it will destroy anyone who believes it! It will separate us from God, smother our faith in Him and even ruin our relationship with Him.
We read in Luke 9:10, "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Jesus would not have come down from Heaven to sacrifice His life just to help with the big problems in our lives. He came not only to save us from sin, but to bring us into His family. Right now we live in a world that is controlled by the devil – and this is evident in the world all around us. But Jesus came and defeated the devil so that those who will accept Him can live freely in HIM.
This world is growing in evil and if we think we can fight the devil and win on our own merits then we will fall. When we have any problems we need to take them to the Lord because only HE can win over the devil. Jesus went to the cross so that we could get victory over sin and death. Let's not be so foolish as to think that we don't need God in every minute of our lives.
Being a Christian means following Jesus and knowing Him personally. It means studying the Bible and learning all about God and who we are in Christ. Jesus is the Son of God, the one who sacrificed His life on the cross to pay for our sins so that we wouldn't have to stand before God on Judgment Day, ready to be judged for the sin that is in us. This is not just a nice thing that He did. This is a GREAT thing that Jesus did and He is worthy of our praises every minute of every day!
Not only should we be grateful for this gift of life, but we can rest in the fact that Jesus did it because He loves us and because He wants to have a relationship with us here on earth and forever. He hears every single prayer that we pray when we are born again Christians who love Him. But if we just think that He should answer our big requests because He is God and is supposed to, then there is no relationship between us and Him, and we have no right to think that He would even hear us. If this is the case, then perhaps, it's time that we got to know Him because there is no father on earth who loves His children more than our Heavenly Father loves us.
If we have a problem, big or small, let's not let the pride of Satan steal the joy that God has for us. He is our Heavenly Father who loves us and who wants to be involved in our lives so that we can be part of His life.

Bradman, Sobers, Hadlee, Botham and… Kallis
9 years ago TBL Daily
Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Rahul Dravid, Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan, Andrew Flintoff and Glenn McGrath… The list of great cricketers during the mid-late 1990′s and beyond is extensive and highly publicised. However, there is one man who has constantly been down-played in the cricketing world, not so much by his countrymen who appreciate his worth, but more so by the rest of the cricketing world, especially here in Australia.
That man is Jacques Kallis, the South African all-rounder who statistically, is better than all of the above. Not solely as a bowler, arguably solely as a batsman, but most definitely overall. What he brings to the South African side is incomparable to any other cricketer in the modern era. Since his International debut as a 20-year-old in 1995, Kallis has gone about his business with minimal fuss, avoiding the media spotlight and accumulating runs, wicket and catches at a rapid rate.
In the 50-over format, Kallis' numbers are staggering over his 307 game career, as highlighted below;
Batting: 11002 runs @ 45.84
Fielding: 116 catches
Bowling: 259 wickets @ 31.90
From a batting perspective alone, his numbers are superior to more heralded superstars such as Tendulkar (45.12), Michael Clarke (44.01), Ponting (42.75), Kevin Pietersen (42.17) and Lara (40.48).
In addition to Kallis' batting prowess, his superb fielding skills (usually in the slips cordon) and wicket-taking ability have combined made him far more crucial to the South African side than any other player in world cricket is to their own respective side.
When analysing Kallis' Test Match career thus far, the numbers are even more astonishing. Over his 143 game career, Kallis' record reads;
Similar to his ODI record, in addition to his fielding and bowling feats, Kallis has his modern-day rivals covered in the batting department, with Tendulkar (56.55), Virenda Sehwag (54.37), Ponting (53.85) and Lara (52.88) all averaging fewer runs per dismissal.
Since International cricket first commenced back in the 19th century, fans and critics alike have been left debating as to who exactly is the best cricketer of all time. The fundamental reason for such debate and conjecture is that there is no obvious formula or rating scale where a players overall value can be scored.
After consulting numerous cricket clubs around the world, of all different levels, one thing that all clubs have in common is that they award a club championship to the player who accumulates the highest amount of points over any given season. The points system is designed to numerically rank all players, regardless of the role they play within the team. The typical points system is as follows;
1 run = 1 point
1 dismissal = 5 points
1 wicket = 15 points
If this was to be applied to the world's best current and recently retired cricketers, the results for Test Matches would be as follows (Qualification 25 Test Matches);
1. Jacques Kallis – 16480 points (115.24 per game)
2. Sakib Al Hasan – 2344 points (111.62 per game)
3. Muttiah Muralitharan – 13621 points (102.41 per game)
4. Shane Watson – 2541 points (101.65 per game)
5. Virenda Sehwag – 8460 points (100.71 per game)
6. Shane Warne – 14399 points (99.30 per game)
7. Brian Lara – 12773 points (97.50 per game)
8. Kumar Sangakkara – 9159 (97.44 per game)
9. Andrew Flintoff – 7495 points (94.87 per game)
10. Mitch Johnson – 3768 points (94.20 per game)
11. Daniel Vettori – 9423 (91.49 per game)
12. Sachin Tendulkar – 15615 points (89.23 per game)
The results for ODI's is below (Qualification 100 ODI's);
1. Jacques Kallis – 15467 points (50.38 per game)
2. Chris Gayle – 10700 points (48.64 per game)
3. Sakib Al Hasan – 4909 points (48.13 per game)
4. Sachin Tendulkar – 20578 points (46.56 per game)
6. Shane Watson – 5032 points (43.01 per game)
7. Sanath Jayasuria – 18873 points (42.51 per game)
8. Adam Gilchrist – 11979 points (41.74 per game)
9. A.B. De Villiers – 4456 points (40.88 per game)
10. Virenda Sehwag – 9180 points (40.26 per game)
When used in a historical sense, the players who have the highest all-time overall value in Test Matches are;
1. Sir Donald Bradman – 7186 points (138.19 per game)
2. Sir Garfield Sobers – 12101 points (130.13 per game)
3. Jacques Kallis
4. Sir Richard Hadlee – 9784 points (113.77 per game)
5. Sir Ian Botham – 11545 (113.19 per game)
6. Sakib Al Hasan
Given these results, which sees the top four cricketers of all-time appear in the top five spots, the ranking system is proven to be highly accurate.
With this in mind, just one question remains… When will Kallis be knighted?

'We Are Not Going To Get Back In The Closet', MP Angela Eagle Tells LGBT School Protestors
By Aaron Walawalkar
News and Digital Editor
A tearful Angela Eagle has insisted that: "We are not going to get back in the closet", as MPs debated a row over same-sex education that gripped two Birmingham primary schools for weeks.
The openly gay Labour MP for Wallasey today (June 25) challenged her Labour colleague Roger Godsiff during a House of Commons debate he tabled in the wake of weeks of protests at Anderton Park Primary School and Parkfield Primary School.
Both endured months of demonstrations from largely Muslim, but also Conservative Christian and Jewish protestors who took exception to their teaching on LGBT relationships.
Demonstrations on the doorstep of Anderton Park have since been quelled after the High Court issued an injunction last month – although protestors are crowdfunding to contest this.
Speaking in the Commons, Ms Eagle said: "Teaching about LGBT existence and relationships, and showing respect and legitimacy to all regardless of their sexual orientation, is something that has not been a feature of our school system for very long."
"That is because of the odious and appalling effects of section 28 [of the Local Government Act 1988], which was passed in the 1980s in a circumstance that was very similar to some of the scare stories that we are hearing about the possible dire effects of simply teaching relationship and sex education in schools—something that we should have been doing generations ago.
She pledged not to "allow a generation of pupils who are now in school to go through what pupils in the 80s had to go through because this Chamber let them down."
"We aren't going to get back in the closet, or hide, or be ashamed of the way we are"

— BBC Politics (@BBCPolitics) June 25, 2019
What Is The Background To This Row?
Earlier this month Mr Godstiff was reprimanded by Labour chief whip Nick Brown after a video emerged of him agreeing with parent protestors from Anderton Park.
During today's debate, he said that he "came to the conclusion that parents that were protesting had some valid reasons for doing so", accusing Anderton Park Primary school headteacher Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson of seeming "totally unwilling to have meetings with the parents to address their concerns and to seek a compromise to resolve the conflict".
He spoke of how 256 out of Birmingham's 258 primary schools had been able to teach the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010 without prompting any complaints from parents.
Speaking of the other two schools, which have been dogged by protests, he said: "The common theme that links these two schools is that parents at both schools were neither consulted nor involved in how the nine protected characteristics were to be imparted to children."

Nevertheless, he struggled to clarify the details of what about the curriculum at the schools that actually concerns parents, when probed by fellow MPs.
Roger Godsiff doesn't represent Labour. His support for the school gate protesters in Birmingham legtimises their attempts to vilify LGBT+ people and stir up tension.
We're calling on Labour MPs to attend his debate and show that Labour is committed to LGBT+ inclusive education. pic.twitter.com/OlkmJtajlv
— LGBT+ Labour (@LGBTLabour) June 25, 2019
Labour MP Stephen Doughty suggested the protests at the school were due to a small number of individuals "whipping this up, creating a myth and creating fear".
The Cardiff South and Penarth MP said that individuals involved in the campaign in Birmingham had travelled to his constituency to stoke similar protests.

Modern biology is increasingly reliant on the algorithmic and conceptual tools of computer science and electrical engineering. A major factor is the unprecedented growth in the size and scope of biological data sets, including multi-species genomic data, databases of polymorphic variants, databases of protein structure and RNA structure, gene expression data, biochemical measurements from large-scale gene knockout experiments and biomedical data. Representing, manipulating and integrating such data requires an appreciation of ideas from diverse areas of EECS such as databases, algorithms, artificial intelligence, graphics, signal processing and image processing. Reasoning about the underlying phenomena that give rise to such data require the systems-level thinking that is the underpinning of areas such as control theory, information theory and statistical machine learning. Ideas from circuit design and nanotechnology play key roles in the design of new biological sensors and actuators. Students in EECS who work on biological problems obtain a cross-disciplinary education in EECS and biology, and often play key roles in collaborative research projects involving biology faculty and students. It is also important to note that the research efforts in biosystems and computational biology in EECS are part of a larger, campus-wide initiative in computational biology. Indeed, many EECS faculty are members of the Center for Computational Biology (CCB). For information on the Center and additional course offerings, please visit http://qb3.berkeley.edu/ccb/. All courses listed on the CCB website are open to all interested students meeting the prerequisites regardless of departmental affiliations.

Art Matters and Jerome Foundation are delighted to announce the artist grantees selected for pilot year residencies at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France. Individual artist grantees of Art Matters Foundation and Jerome Foundation had the opportunity to apply for one-month residencies at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France. The purpose of the residencies is to think, create, and reflect; learn from other artist and humanities scholars; and draw from and connect with resources of the Provence region. Two Jerome recipients and two Art Matters recipients were awarded residencies and stipends to cover travel, per diem, materials, and other expenses.
A three-person selection committee of nationally recognized artists and curators, writer and performance artist David Mura, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Martha Wilson, artist and Founder and Executive Director of Franklin Furnace, New York City; and film and new media artist Cauleen Smith, Chicago, Illinois, reviewed applications and selected the four recipient and alternates. The Board of Directors of Jerome Foundation approved the panel recommendations for the Jerome grantees and the Board of Art Matters approved panel recommendations for Art Matters grantees.
Residency grants were provided to Nicholas Boggs, Matana Roberts, Việt Lé, and Akosua Adoma Owusu.
Nicholas Boggs will continue work on a book-in-progress, Things Not Seen. This will advance the text toward a deadline in the fall of 2016 for a full draft to be submitted to publishers. Things Not Seen will be the first book to tell the story of the black American writer James Baldwin's collaboration with French painter Yoran Cazac. Based on a decade of original research in the United States and Europe, the book promises to deepen and complicate an understanding of Baldwin's life and work, particularly in his later years, the majority of which he spent at his home in St. Paul-de-Vence in the south of France, where he died in 1987. On either side of the residency, Boggs will conduct interviews with contacts, in the St. Paul-de-Vence area, who knew Baldwin.
Matana Roberts will continue the compositional development of segments of a twelve-part series, titled Coin Coin, on history, ancestry, and memory. Within a more focused environment away from distractions, Roberts will complete the next few segments, investigating the connections to France with her own ancestry and the Coin Coin project. Roberts will examine the slow disappearance of the Occitan language, which has parallels with a similar disappearing dialect in the small Louisiana town her family called home. She will work on large graphic scores and develop acoustic and electronic digital sounds for the work.
Việt Lé will research and complete a series of photographic portraits and hybrid documentary music videos on the legacies of French Indochina, particularly Vietnamese immigrants living in Marseille. The video art component consists of oral interviews with Vietnamese immigrants living in the Marseille area combined with an original music soundtrack and improvised choreography. The soundtrack plays homage to the Vietnamese and French songs that have been popular in Vietnam and its Diasporas since the 1930s. In the video, Cassis, its history of sea voyages and the beauty of the calanques, will serve as a fictional fantasy "refugee camp" site. The proposed work is an outgrowth of Lé's "love bang" video and photographic series, which deals with transnational Asian popular music and the traumas of history and modernization.
Akosua Adoma Owusu will work on a feature narrative film titled Save the Rex. This work is about a Ghanaian-American filmmaker who, while in Ghana to receive an African Movie Academy Award, is inspired to launch a Kickstarter campaign to refurbish the Rex Theater, the oldest cinema house in West Africa. The work is a coming-of-age, semi-autobiographical film that weaves together real life and fictionalized storytelling to explore the ideas of individual and collective identity, home, and otherness. The residency will be devoted to developing the first draft of the work. While at Camargo, she will attend FIDMarseille, a film festival that will provide sustenance for her work and the development of connections. One of the prominent characters in Save the Rex is French, so immersion French culture will give her the ability to provide added depth and dimension to the character.
For further information about these grants, please contact Jerome Foundation President Cynthia Gehrig at 651.224.9431 or 1.800.995.3766, Art Matters Director Sacha Yanow, 917.478.1010, or Camargo Foundation Program Director Julie Chénot at [email protected] Visit the Jerome Foundation at www.jeromefdn.org, Art Matters at www.artmattersfoundation.org, and Camargo Foundation at www.camargofoundation.org.
The Jerome Foundation, created by artist and philanthropist Jerome Hill (1905–1972), seeks to contribute to a dynamic and evolving culture by supporting the creation, development, and production of new works by emerging artists. The Foundation makes grants to not-for-profit arts organizations and artists in Minnesota and New York City.
Art Matters awards grants to U.S. artists for work that is socially engaged with a focus on local, national, and/or global concerns. It supports artists working in all visual media including experimental performance and film. Art Matters is particularly interested in subversive or provocative content, and artistic practice that expands definitions of a traditional medium.
Camargo Foundation, founded by artist and philanthropist Jerome Hill, is a residential center offering programming in the humanities and the arts. Located in Cassis, France, it offers time and space in a contemplative environment to think, create, and connect. The Foundation encourages the visionary work of scholars, artists, and leading thinkers in the arts and humanities.

what I want is to find the absolute-value max and not just the max. For example, if the previous nth row is set to 4 then row 7 would be -189008. I have tried two functions but both do not have the option to return the absolute value.

this is incorrect since row seven should return -189008 instead of 4247
thanks.

A: One option is to get the slide max on the absolute 'Price' and then change the sign by matching the absolute values of 'Price' (potential bug alert!)
library(dplyr)
library(slider)
df2 %>%
    mutate(abshigh = slide_dbl(abs(Price), max, .before = 4, .complete = TRUE),
    abshigh = abshigh * sign(Price[match(abshigh, abs(Price))]))

Or another option is to use row_number() i.e. sequence as input to slide_dbl and extract the values of 'Price' based on the sequence, get the max element index of absolute values with which.max to subset the 'Price' subset (This would be more correct compared to the previous solution as match can have undesirable consequence on the absolute values if there are both negative and positive elements with same value
df2 %>%
  mutate(abshigh = slide_dbl(row_number(),
   .f = ~ Price[.x][which.max(abs(Price[.x]))], .before = 4, .complete = TRUE))

Iran's Solhipour claims gold at 2021 World Para Powerlifting
Saturday, 04 December 2021 21:03	Tehran Times
TEHRAN – Hamed Solhipour seized Iran's first gold at the 2021 World Para Powerlifting Championships underway in Tbilisi, Georgia on Saturday.
With an impressive drive for 225kg, Solhipour retained his crown in the men's up to 97kg to win back-to-back titles.
I'm very happy and delighted", commented Solhipour. nd I think I deserve this medal.
Consistency was key for Egypt's Hany Abdelhady. The African champion was the only athlete to complete three successful lifts and the last one bagged him silver (223kg).
A courageous lift of 220kg in the third round saw Jordan's Mutaz Aljuneidi leapfrog his way onto the podium to win bronze.
Iran's Amir Jafari in the men's up to 65kg and Rouhollah Rostami in the men's up to 80kg had previously won two silver medals.
The tournament is one of the compulsory tournaments to qualify for the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France.


The mystically-enhanced century-old warrior has entered the Modern Age!! Oops! Did I say that out loud? Rewind!!
The creators give us a quick recap of the title character's origin. It is expanded a bit in that after surviving the mining catastrophe, Auric is visited by the Goddess of the North. It could be Nelvana or some other Inuit deity. I need to investigate further! Their encounter was pre-ordained. The miner has been chosen as the defender and guardian of the 49th parallel. Despite having questions, she bestows powers upon him and departs.
It comes as no surprise that Auric would be doubtful of his encounter. As he sharpen his focus, he transforms into a lion-man. Seeing a paw isn't enough proof. The looking glass confirms his recent development and creates a bit of shock. His sarcastic remark of fulfilling his destiny in a hundred years comes true!
Another mission successfully accomplished. A pause in the action has Auric and Janks at their not-so-secret HQ at the Legion '99 in Timmins. Silvertop offers some especially cured bacon to his hired hand, origin to be determined. Janks refuses in disgust. Another new cast member is introduced: Kinzie. There is major negative vibes emitting from Janks towards her. He resents her sullenness and spookiness. Auric tells him to ease up since the trio are all on the same team.
Kinzie is quiet, emo-esque, and a major believer of mystic forces. She spray paints a protection circle within the base. Auric gives her some reassurance that Janks needed to blow off some steam. Mystery arises: Kinzie has been reading up on magic from an unknown party's spell book. Auric forbids her to dig deeper into the darker forces. He relays that they can use other methods to find this unmentioned individual.
Like any other current super-hero, Auric has gotta keep up with the times. Having the latest gear doesn't hurt. Janks gives him a brand-new belt buckle. First off, it has a snazzy new logo that reflects Auric's origins. Secondly, it is multi-functional: camera, comm device, and best of all – camouflage converter.
The awe is interrupted by a call from Duncan, one of Auric's associates. Young, rich, up-and-comer Taurin Curtis is campaigning to rid the tranquil town of all monsters. As the twosome are viewing the broadcast, Auric mentions to Janks that his new adversary is indeed familiar to him. Looks like Auric has his own Lex Luthor.
Last May, I eagerly reviewed the mini-comic of the same name. I stayed true to my word when I informed Mr. Andrew Thomas that I would cover it. I was only five weeks in with this distinguished site. I truly found the sneak peek/origin story an enjoyable read. A zero issue (in reality the second printing) had two extra pages previewing this very issue – the last B&W page in this book covering Auric's origin and the first coloured page with Auric captured by the Bush Pigs. The wait has been worth it. The journey embarked by the creators has born fruit. Mssrs. Thomas and Dewsbury turned to Kickstarter for funding. They reached their goal days before the end of the year. This issue was officially released at the end of January. Even though I personally know the artist, I apologize for taking this long to review his creator-owned work. I wrote a small piece on the official release of this very issue.
Kudos to Mr. Deswbury for bringing Auric into the digital age. Tales of the past have their own appeal but I find that more compelling events can occur in the ever-changing present. Auric's years on this planet make him a man out of time even if he seems well-adjusted. I applaud the inclusion of the supporting cast. Pun intended!! Everyone needs a helping hand. Crimefighting is rarely a solo act these days. I'm intrigued by Kinzie's training and a bit put off by Janks' animosity towards her. Also, I want to know more about Duncan and Auric's past affiliation with his novice nemesis.
This title is as Canadian as can be. In the span of a few pages, aspects of our culture are highlighted. I'm fortunate enough to live in southwestern Ontario which has better temps and a more forgiving climate. I'm also smack dab in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). My metropolis of Mississauga is reaching 800,000 residents. North Bay is name dropped. Coincidentally, I attended teacher's college there two decades back. That is as far north as I have been in Canada's most populous province (fourth largest in surface area). Traveling there took four hours from my hometown of Kitchener. Timmins, home of Auric, as well as the writer, is another 360 km farther up, or four and a half hours by car. DDAAMMNN!!
Current political issues are addressed. Timmins, Ontario is a mining town. Its income is dependent on that industry. The sound bite by Taurin Curtis is spot on. The town has experienced a recent economic boom with the extraction of gold. The Mattagami First Nation people are not too far. Their teenage population is bussed to Timmins for secondary school. The Mattagami River flows through Timmins. It's really neat how fiction and reality merge. Auric is going to have to reacquaint with his opponent.
Andrew Thomas is meticulous. As with most visual representations, the faces are the best indicators of the various story elements. Auric the man goes through several motions – rattled, bemused, agonized, confident. Auric the golden-mane has the appropriate ferocity. By no means does he look cartoony even if one suspends disbelief. Nice nod to the rat-tail. The Bush Pigs look cute and cuddly rather than threatening. They are best served on a plate ;-P Diversity is not the status quo. It is reality. Janks has ample enthusiasm even if he harbors some grudge towards the other teammate. Kinzie may be of Native descent. The smallest things are often the most important. The simplicity of the two hammers as well as the protection symbol are quickly acknowledged. I can't help but smirk at the camouflage costume change since it reminds me of BATMAN #41 when Jim Gordon's new tech guy swipes the various colour schemes for that armour. I'm sure that was intentional, eh, Andrew?? I see an uncanny resemblance between the penciller and the politician, minus the facial hair. Am I right??
The original operation of two has increased by one (just like Auric and his young charges!) Alfonso Pinedo covers the entire spectrum (just like the book of the same name worked on by him). The golden gladiator's fur isn't too flashy. It's subdued. The pinkiness of the porcines is pretty accurate. I still chuckle at their tragic fate. Nothing tastes better than Canadian bacon!!
The colors used in the background do not necessarily match the previous panels. I feel that they are a variation of blank space. For example, it is night when Auric is among the campers but his transformation appears to occur in a different setting. The same goes for the grey foundation within the base. The costume swap has a lighter backdrop to it. I dig the B&W visuals.
Mr. Thomas does double duty by scribing. I found the letters too tightly together. I had a bit of a struggle reading especially under artificial light. Janks' anger was loud and clear. Literally!!
All in all, another fun read. Adding a detailed fact file as well as a coming attraction for the next issue are smart moves. My curiosity always gets the better of me. I have to bide my time to see more facets of this character revealed.
I give this book 7 paw prints out of 8 [87.5%] RRROOOAAARRR!!!


Friends and devoted readers of this blog might know that I have no qualms about playing favorites when it comes to seasons. What's not to love about summer? Ice cream cones from that drip all over your hand, no matter how old you get; trips to the beach that only cost you a sunburn; constant outdoor parades and picnics and paloozas galore! As much as I enjoy these festivities, however, I have to admit that my favorite summer activity generally causes long hours indoors in a somewhat sloth-like state: book binging.
Book binges are primarily a summer indulgence. Even though I usually work over summer and have a few other side projects going, the absence of homework allows me to go through books rapidly, sometimes three or four in a single day. Sadly, as a soon-to-be grad student, I don't have as much money to spend on books as I would like. Although there was no stealing involved, all of the above books were acquired through copious amounts of begging and borrowing. Whether you're short on cash or just trying to save a few books, I thought you might appreciate suggestions for feeding one's ravenous inner bookworm without breaking the bank.
There is no better source for free books than your local library. Aside from their own collections, libraries often have interlibrary loan systems set up so you can request books your own branch might not have. Something that I've only recently discovered, though, is my library systems fairly extensive e-book collection. If you have trouble getting to your library for whatever reason, many libraries allow you to borrow e-books and audio books online. It's great for when I'm looking for something to read late at night.
Public domain is your friend; if you have any interest in older works, try looking for books whose copyrights have expired. There are many databases, such as Project Gutenburg, that have classics available to read online or download as PDFs or audio files. Louisa May Alcott and L. M. Montgomery are two of my favorite public domain authors. One of my favorite features of my Kindle Touch is that I can e-mail PDFs to my device and have them converted to e-book form; those with tablets, smart phones, or other e-readers might investigate if their devices offer similar services.
Me, age twenty. Different format, same bookworm tendencies.
Follow publishers' social media accounts. Publishing companies frequently offer special deals on e-books, often to promote interest in an upcoming sequel or new release by the same author. Whether you use Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr, publishers are a good choice to follow. Libraries, librarians, and authors themselves also often share book deals. WriteWorld, a tumblr dedicated to providing writing advice, has compiled a great directory of writing resources on Tumblr, including those of authors and publishers.
Raid your sister's bookshelf. Okay, I said there was no stealing involved, so maybe "raid" is not the right word. Nevertheless, some of my favorite books have been discovered amongst my sisters' books. I started Harry Potter when my older sister, in the midst of Chamber of Secrets, left Sorcerer's Stone on her bed. I fell in love with Melina Marchetta when I wheedled my little sister into letting me extract Saving Francesca from her stack of library books. In return, I have lent her more books than I can count. Even if you don't have sisters, consider setting up an exchange with friends or family who have similar tastes.
Although I'm sure freebies have existed as long as humankind itself, I believe the Internet has ushered us into the Golden Age of Giveaways. Obviously there's a lot of scams out there, and you want to be careful what information you give out over the Internet. However, for those who might prefer paper books to e-books, book bloggers, authors, and tumblr users often give away free books in order to connect with readers. GoodReads also has a page for giveaways.
This one may be for the true scrimp-and-pinchers. When I was in high school, I usually didn't have much money for books. My weekend plans usually included begging my parents to "abandon" me at the nearest Borders (R.I.P.). There I would spend hours reading an entire book. While I haven't indulged in this practice in quite awhile, it's a nice way to spend a day.
Don't get me wrong. For authors I admire, I am usually more than willing to spend my money to purchase their work. And I want more than anything for bookstores, especially local bookstores to stay in business. However, when times are tight, sometimes it's good to have a few extra ways to read a little more and spend a little less. Besides, if I read a book I love for free, when the author's next release comes out, I'm usually first in line, ready to buy it at whichever bookstore's closest.
Stay tuned for my upcoming review of Sarah Dessen's new book, The Moon and More – a summer read if there ever was one.

Has anyone thought of mentioning Dr. Demings contributions to the USA during the AIG fiasco? Had AIG and Wallstreet implemented his 14 goals I don't think that we would be in this financial crisis. Someone in the know please speak up about his contributions.

I'll tell you something about myself. I'm a guy who's good with words: I have a great vocabulary and can put my thoughts into expertly-crafted sentences. Yet here's the problem I used to have in the past: Even when I was in a great conversation with a girl, I wasn't able to keep her interest.
What allowed me to overcome my sticking point is finding out that the trick to attraction is to add some great body language to the mix to captivate a woman. Because body language accounts for nearly 80% of our communication, words are pointless without it. If you don't deliver great body language in addition to good conversation, you're not going to attract anyone.
Try this: Next time you have some time on your hands, take one of your favourite movies and watch it with the sound turned off. Now look at the actors and examine what they do to portray their characters and make them unique.
Notice their movements, facial expressions, gestures or posture. Now, if you want to sharpen your own appearance, you'll need to work on those very same attributes.
A general rule you should keep in mind. Move slowly, speak slowly, make pauses when you speak! Rushed people will seem aimless and insecure.
If you're interested or curious about a woman, tilt your head while she's talking to you. Maintain steady eye contact, and focus on her – look INTO her eyes, not just AT them. At a later point in the conversation, you may look into her eyes, then at her lips, neck and then move back. It will introduce some good tension. Also, there are facial expressions you can learn: me, for instance, I tought myself how to raise my right eyebrow when I was a teenager. Every morning I'd stand in front of the mirror until I had it down.
be careful and conscious with them. If you smile at everything a woman does and says, you'll come across as a needy little lapdog trying to please her. Confident and attractive men don't smile a lot, even (and especially) when they're being funny: delivery is the most important part of every joke, and being deadpan while saying something outrageous or crazy is pure gold. Also, if you're sparing with smiles, it will be worth so much more when you do display one.
Make your gestures clear and well-defined. Waving your arms about like feather-dusters will only make her duck, possibly also run. Instead, use gestures to visualize what you're saying, and make them outwards – hand movements coming from your heart and going towards the person you're talking to. You want to establish a personal connection? This is crucial.
Sit back and relax. Open up your body. Otherwise, if your arms and legs are crossed, you're building a wall between you and the woman, signalling that you're insecure – you have something to hide or protect. So take up some space! Spread your legs apart, have one hand casually dangling over your knee when you're sitting. Ever notice how somebody looks more attractive on a photo when they're angled towards the camera instead of facing it full-frontal? Use that effect to your advantage. A bit of tilting and angling can go a long way – just NEVER lean in. If you have trouble hearing what she says, motion her to come closer to you or move your ear closer to her mouth so she can talk into it, but don't lean forward and into her personal space.
When you walk, be smooth and not too fast. A fast pace may get you places and can come in handy if needed, but it will also make you appear hurried and stressed. You wanna be relaxed and cool, so take some time. Walk upright, tighten your belly and straighten your back, keep your head up high and be present and aware of your surroundings. Watch how Al Pacino walks in "Carlito's Way" (which is a bloody awesome movie in its own right).
Do it deeply and consciously. Take in the air around you, you'll feel how it vitalizes you as it goes through your body. This is life right there for ya. It will sharpen your senses and energize you. Finally, your body language should show that you're perfectly comfortable inside your skin. You're happy because you're an attractive guy. Display that attitude, and you'll know how to use your body language to captivate a woman attention.


OWENSBORO, KY (WFIE) - Voting at a polling location in Owensboro started off with a slight hiccup on Election Day.
Chief Deputy Clerk Richard House says a worker at Precinct 34, which is Owensboro Middle School, passed out ballots that didn't have the school board race.
House wasn't sure how many voters were impacted, but says they were able to fix the issue pretty quickly.
The error only affected the school board race. Everything else on the ballot was the same.

Some brand new business card design options for the Runcorn IT systems specialits.
Leo Hodgkins, director at computer systems specialists Installing IT, wanted to replace his old business cards with a set of newly branded and redesigned cards.
I created three visuals for Leo to choose from, all of which you can see below. Leo wanted a clean, fresh and corporate look to his news cards and also needed to add some of the new IT services he now provides from both his Runcorn and Warrington offices in Cheshire.
After reviewing the initial design comps and setting on his preferred options, we worked together fine tuning the layout, adjusting the scale and position of the logo and finalizing the wording until it was exactly what Leo wanted.
Once Leo approved the final business cards I setup the artwork for press and organized printing with Andy Taylor at A&A Graphics in Widnes. Andy yet again produced a superb job and Leo is very happy with his brand new cards, another happy bunnie!

This chapbook takes the lead from those original publications, with pages filled with thoughts and ideas from historians, authors, and illustrators who have worked within the realm of South Dakota history. Each contributor was asked to consider why they love history and to write a short piece on that subject. Our authors and illustrators consider fascinating topics, crafting their stories out of archives, journals, books, newspapers, and so on. The person, place, or era they write about is, as it should be, the focus of the reader. But, it is also important that the historian himself becomes accessible to the reader. Why did he or she choose to write about this topic? What inspired them to search for the truth in among all the detritus that history tends to leave behind? Indeed, why do they like history at all, which is, of course, the central question of this book. Compiled here for the first time are those writings.
Five hundred years ago in England, street sellers known as chapmen began selling small books, pamphlets, treaties, and manifestos. These publications, usually numbering thirty to sixty pages, became extrememly popular with the average (literate) citizen. Quickly, the little books took the name "chapbooks" in homage to those who sold them.


This years county hike will take place on Saturday 2nd November in the Cooley Mountains. Scouts will do a short hike then pitch their tents then do a longer hike with bases along the way.

Outsourcing software development is becoming a common practice as globalization is driving competitiveness at an unprecedented pace, pushing organizations to search for new ways of improving their business.
If your company is just like most startups, you're most likely starting out with a small team who may or may not possess technical skills. And even if some of you possess technical skills, it's unlikely that you have the necessary know-how to complete your project at its full potential.
This doesn't mean you can't make your dream app happen; you just need to take a different approach. Outsourcing the development process could be the best way to get off the ground.
Because financial issues are the main reason for the failure of software startups, outsourcing has proved to be the best method for diminishing a start-up's operational expenses.
An outsourced team will not only save you a lot of money but also time. If you choose to outsource you can skip the traditional hiring process and you will not have to account for any extra expenses associated with permanent hires. Your outsourcing partner will be in charge of choosing the most qualified candidates and to have replacements at hand in case a team member unexpectedly leaves the project.
Did you know that according to a major study of global outsourcing done by Deloitte 59% of the respondents claimed that outsourcing is more cost effective; while 72% of the respondents outsource at least some of their IT functions, including software development outsourcing?
So, why would you pay more money to hire a local employee if you can hire a professional with the same or even higher expertise level elsewhere?
Overtaking competitors with a market entry can make or break a business and timing is key.
So, do you have time to wait?
Outsourcing is the best way to achieve the proposed goals within required time-cost constraints and at a high-quality level.
With in-house development, the time between the idea and the finished product is much longer, as you will need to rent office space, set up the development infrastructure, as well as put together a professional team. You will have to hire, train, and onboard the new employees which can add considerably more time to the whole software development process.
However, if you choose to outsource, your company will be working right away with a well-trained team that will have your project completed while conforming to the deadlines.
There is no perfect solution for all. Each company should evaluate what they can do in-house and what they should outsource. Nevertheless, the software development outsourcing option should be considered in all cases.

Q: call python script from PHP index out of range I'm calling a python script from my PHP code, I need to pass 7 variable: a few strings, a couple of array and a matrix.
I tried to use both Shell_Exec and exec(), but I get always the same problem:
matrixdata = sys.argv[7]
IndexError: list index out of range

The first thought was " I passed the wrong number of variable ", but checking they are 7.
This is my python code:
 listlabel = str(sys.argv[2])
 listdata = (sys.argv[1])
 typechart = str(sys.argv[3])
 name = str(sys.argv[4])
 typedata = str(sys.argv[5])
 title = str(sys.argv[6])
 matrixdata = sys.argv[7] //this is the matrix

This is my PHP Lines to call it
//json encoding for the array:
$total = json_encode(compact($listlabel));
$event = json_encode(compact($listdata));
$event = json_encode(compact($matrixdata));

exec("python ../home/path../create_chart.py $total $event $chart $name $typedata $title $matrixdata", $output);
//all the parameters exist and the path is correct

I'm passing 7 arguments, I'm getting 7 arguments. I don't understand where the problem is.
Before to added the last matrix, this line was working with 7 elements, instead of 7, I also tried with 8 elements and 9 instead of 7, but no luck.
Let me know if someone can help me, thank you.


Enoch Mandlenkosi Tshabalala's family moved from Belfour, Mpumalanga to live in Johannesburg in 1945 when he was four years old. At first they lived in Kliptown, but they later settled in Soweto in the year that it was established on the periphery of Johannesburg. Soon after this Tshabalala contracted polio. After treatment at the Johannesburg General Hospital, he was bedridden for a long time. This was a major set-back in terms of his schooling. When he regained the use of his arms, his mother brought him coloured crayons and paper, and he began to draw his surroundings. He also took a keen interest in music. In 1959 he was employed to paint curios, and took on the job out of financial necessity. He was later encouraged to study under Cecil Skotnes (qv.) at the Polly Street Art Centre.
A major influence on his artistic career was his meeting with Dumile Feni (qv.) in 1964, and after this his style shifted towards Feni's to a notable degree. This is evident in the attenuated expressionism in this single work by Tshabalala in the Campbell Smith Collection, titled "Number one dancer". He launched himself as a full-time artist in 1966. Although he still wears calipers as a result of his illness, Tshabalala has managed to live a normal life. He has married and has four children and continues to live and work in Johannesburg. He now works mainly in watercolour and acrylic.
Born Belfour, Mpumalanga, 1941. Training Educated at the Methodist School, Moroka. Exhibitions 1979: Art from South Africa/Art from Soweto, Bonn, Germany and touring. Collections Represented in various corporate and private collections.
Photograph of Enoch Tshabalala. Courtesy of Prince Dube, Johannesburg.
This work (plate 28) is an early pastel by Tshabalala that predates the dramatic change in his style following his first meeting with and exposure to the work of Dumile Feni in 1964 (See ReVisions, pp. 198-199, (plate 170). Unlike many generally later images of 'township' life which project a sense of activity using brighter colour, Tshabalala's work seems more sombre, with a greater sense of realism. Dating from the early 1960s, it reflects the first springing up of informal settlements at this same time, created by the influx into the cities of job- seekers from the rural areas or those displaced by group areas legislation. The chaotic shanty-towns and slums which are now so much a feature of our present did not really exist before this, and were a new feature of South Africa's urban landscape. Even the so-called 'locations' of earlier times were much more orderly by comparison.


These mischievous rodents are also known as Leopoldamys. Jungle is full of beautiful birds, animals and other dangerous species and then comes a time where these wild treasures start reducing down. Gradually, one fine day we realize that we are not in a position to save these endangered animals. That is when need of finding solutions arise.
Neil's Long-tailed Giant Rats are majorly found in Thailand. Major concern is their data is not so easily available, therefore the International Union for Conservation of Nature status remains data-deficient. Journey to the jungle is an educative program for students and visitors who visits Thailand's best zoo – Khao Kheow Open Zoo.
When endangered species are in sufficient numbers, concerning authorities tend to keep it easy. This leads to loose ends and flaws starts gripping the maintenance bit. Merely suitable habitats are not sufficient enough as there are many other processes that need to be regularly followed by respective bodies. Diet, water, safety measures and fine tuning as per the changing season are imperative to sustain these incredible animals that are a gift of nature.

Retail CSG Exclusive
Retail Team Ups on the Rise
In 2015 Walmart Stores Inc. was struggling to keep up with Amazon.com Inc. Walmart had the big stores and the household name, but this paled in comparison to Amazon's key advantage: online infrastructure. Walmart.com was something of a mess and was far less intuitive than the Jeff Bezos' patented one-click checkout system. Walmart turned all of this around by joining forces with, in this case purchasing, Jet.com. The ecommerce company was able to overhaul Walmart's online ordering system and made Walmart.com the model of efficiency it is today. This was just the beginning of retailers joining forces to carve out a space in the competitive B2C world.

On Dec 11, 2019 The Kroger Co. and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership to cut supply costs and potentially manufacture goods for each other. This level of collaboration is what is needed to survive in the top tier. Smaller companies have always sought partnerships against bigger competition, but we are now seeing the trend move toward larger company alliances. It is no secret that retail companies are struggling to get customers in-store and the industry is very top heavy. Retailers need every advantage they can get and collaboration is how the strong are surviving. Strategic alliances often allow two companies to save money without compromising their stock value and can also lead to innovative new products for the market.
In addition, collaboration is the sole reason we may see a true revival of Toy's R Us in the future. Tru Kids Brands, Inc. bought the license and has partnered with the Target Corporation to power its online ordering. Target got in on another partnership as it struck a deal with Disney to create unique in-store displays. The miniature displays inside select Target locations have been a huge draw during the holiday toy season. CVS Health also partnered with Target in 2015 when the former bought all of Target's in-store pharmacies. The deal gave CVS a larger retail footprint and they announced another deal this year that will see them use Target's shipping infrastructure to deliver prescriptions. In 2020 and beyond, the two retail giants will likely hammer out additional deals and could even move towards a merger.
Furthermore, Technology companies have also forged their way into these strategic retail alliances. Microsoft Corporation has leveraged its Azure cloud technology to help boost ecommerce and efficiency. Overstock.com has partnered with several companies that have been eager to use their advanced blockchain system. These kinds of partnerships have whittled down the barrier between retail and digital shopping as companies constantly try to keep pace with their competition.
Strategic partnerships could make it even more difficult for a new retail business to break into a market segment as the titans of industry are banding together to weather the storm of change. Companies like Walmart and Target have used this method to rise above and put more pressure on the competition. Likewise, the Kroger and Walgreens alliance was born out of necessity and 2020 will likely bring more fusions of unusual allies.
Vendors can take advantage of these new partnerships as they present opportunities for renewed product mixes stores sell online and on the shelf. Subscribers that follow our weekly Datatracs can log into their databases and directly contact the companies teaming up. Having campaigns ready to launch to newly merged, acquired, or partnered retailers is key to increasing the chances of having your products picked up by the top chains.

"Holocaust Heroes: Fierce Females" Sculpture and Tapestries by Linda Stein
© Linda Stein, Anne Frank 839, 2015,Fabric, Archival Pigment on Canvas, Paints, Leather, Metal, and Zippers, 59 x 59 inches
Linda Stein has been obsessed with the theme of protection since 9/11 and was drawn to researching the Holocaust. While many people have been recognized for their courage in facing these horrific times, less attention has been placed on the women who made a difference.
The four-part exhibition includes: Heroic Tapestries, Spoon to Shell sculpture, Protector sculpture and a 7-minute looped video. Heroic Tapestries represent different aspects of bravery during the time of the Holocaust: Jew and non-Jew, child and adult, World War II military fighter and ghetto/concentration camp smuggler, record keeper and saboteur. Together they represent the many types of female heroism, with war battle gear and without, during the years of the Holocaust. For her Spoon to Shell sculpture, Stein blends spoon and shell into an amalgam of materials, addressing physical and emotional abuse. Protector includes a Wonder Woman shadow and becomes a symbol for the brave defender. The video, featuring Gloria Steinem, Abigail Disney, Elizabeth Sackler, and others, is a tour-de-force highlighting female heroes of the time of the Holocaust and the sculptures and tapestries that were made about them by artist Linda Stein.

Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder
<< Previous in Non Fiction Next in Non Fiction >>
Author: Caroline Fraser
The first comprehensive historical biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the beloved author of the Little House on the Prairie book series.
Millions of readers of Little House on the Prairie believe they know Laura Ingalls—the pioneer girl who survived blizzards and near-starvation on the Great Plains, and the woman who wrote the famous autobiographical books. But the true story of her life has never been fully told. Now, drawing on unpublished manuscripts, letters, diaries, and land and financial records, Caroline Fraser—the editor of the Library of America edition of the Little House series—masterfully fills in the gaps in Wilder's biography, setting the record straight regarding charges of ghostwriting that have swirled around the books and uncovering the grown-up story behind the most influential childhood epic of pioneer life.
Set against nearly a century of epochal change, from the Homestead Act and the Indian Wars to the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, Wilder's dramatic life provides a unique perspective on American history and our national mythology of self-reliance. Offering fresh insight and new discoveries about Wilder's life and times, Prairie Fires is the definitive book about Wilder and her world.

As a systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, Mallory Lefland is playing a key role in the Mars 2020 Mission – a highly challenging undertaking to investigate a region of Mars where this ancient environment may have been favorable for microbial life. The mission, set to launch in 2020, will probe the Martian rocks for evidence of past life while collecting samples of soil and rock, and cache them on the surface of Mars for potential return to Earth by a future mission.
During the Mars 2020 project, Mallory is serving as a member of the Entry, Descent, & Landing (EDL) Systems Engineering Team. Her responsibilities include the planning and execution of the test plan for the EDL Timeline, the software engine that will be used to land a rover on Mars in 2021. "Creating and testing sequences to send to the rover, and then to actually see the rover perform those actions on Mars, is one of the most exciting parts of my job," she said in an interview with Career Girls, an online magazine.
Mallory joined JPL in 2013 where she has also worked as a systems and operations engineer on the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, and as the flight system thermal engineer for the Mars 2020 Mission. She also enjoys serving as a mentor to young girls in science and math. "I would love to see more women working in my field because they bring a much-needed perspective to the workplace," she adds. Mallory earned her bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.


For most employers interviewing a prospective employee, hearing that the young man before them is trying to quite ice and rebuild life after addiction would put them in the too hard pile. But for Peter Munday, an admission like that not only didn't put him off, but motivated him to help the young man turn his life around by giving him a job. It's just one of many stories Mr Munday can share about the hundreds of young men and women he has mentored in Canberra, one of the reasons he has been awarded a medal of the Order of Australia this Australia Day. He estimates he has mentored around 400 young men and women, motivated by his own difficulties as a young man, dealing with bullying and the end of his parents' marriage, as well as finally being diagnosed with dyslexia. "Instagram, Facebook, pictures that are being sent, texts, it's really tough out there for kids and all that social media ia really affecting our kids," Mr Munday said, explaining the way challenges for young people have changed. Mr Munday has also been a generous fundraiser and donor to many charities and causes around Canberra, including being a major sponsor of the adolescent ward at the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children and facilitating the refurbishment of The Cottage, a day centre for young people seeking treatment for mental health issues. Starting his charity involvement with the Starlight Foundation, Mr Munday said he thought more needed to be done for adolescents in the community. He's also a major sponsor for Menslink, and said he is humbled by the honour, but that it wouldn't be possible without the generous donations of those who attend events and buy tickets. "Canberra's such a generous community at giving back. I don't think it happens with me doing this solely, I'm the captain of the ship that steers the way but but it's the support of everyone else that makes it the way it is." Through his role as principal for Lennock Volkswagen in Phillip, Mr Munday has been able to run car raffles and other events to aid his fundraising efforts, he emphasises that the company has backed him often. And that man who got the job? He's still working for Mr Munday, is also a Menslink mentor and is thriving. "You've gotta just give people a go," Mr Munday said.
